 A new year comes by and the Beijing LUG is very happy to be here to wish you all Linux users of Beijing and the rest of the world a Happy Chinese New Year! As we're entering the year of the Tiger, the BLUG is now on it's 8th year of existence and going strong. With many new projects and new members to fulfill this year I sometimes wonder where we will stop, if ever. This of course is a community effort and BLUG wouldn't be what it is without its members. So thank you all for your participation and contributions. We wish that the tiger will be with all of us to help achieve beyond our hopes. Happy New Year!

 Following up on building a Hackerspace in Beijing after last month presentation we have been moving forward with the plan. Since then Jean has started a Hackerspace Group in the BLUG and a few members have been discussing in the forum to put ideas together like budgeting and location. Clone, a geeky talented architect even stepped forward and is willing to contribute on the design of the hackerspace. In order to establish our budgeting, we need your input: there is now a poll on the left side of the page for interested members to vote! To make the Hackerspace happening in Beijing, please participate and let us know how much you would be willing to contribute and which kind of membership (monthly, bi-yearly or yearly) suits you better! |

Our BLUG Vice President, Fred (previously President) was elected to be the new president for Software Freedom International 2010! As you may know, with Fred's leadership, we have been involved in promoting and organizing SFD events in China since 2007. Our SFD 2007 event was elected to be the best event award. Starting from 2008, we have been involved in the worldwide promotion and responsible for the Schwags (gift packs) delivering to all the registered SFD teams in the world. In 2009, we assisted the launch of sfdchina.org and supported over 70 SFD events in China. This great news definitely would bring BLUG to a higher level of involvement in the Software Freedom Day events! Congratulation to Fred and all the best to Software Freedom Day 2010. |
